I am thoroughly addicted to Postsecret a great website which is pretty self-explanatory - you create an artistic postcard which tells your biggest secret, send it to a guy in America, and he puts it up on the web.
The great part though, is that it's a big community project where people write supportive messages or share similar stories. It might sound kind of naff, but when you have really serious secrets like this one on the left, it really forces you to have a reaction. It makes me think that human beings aren't all complete bastards when people start posting domestic violence helpline numbers and telling people they aren't alone.
There are new postcards online every Sunday, which is my weekly therapy. You can also buy the books online, there's a new one out in a couple of weeks which contains postcards which haven't been on the site.
(I also love that capitalist impulse to make some quick $$$)
